I need help on this problem

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

start with distributing the 3 and the 2 into the brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok...so it would become this: 3x+6+8=2x-6

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

exactly, now what else can we do?

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

is there any like terms we can add together?

3x+14=2x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep!

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

There are some more "like terms" that can be added/subtracted.... Can you spot them?
